DoueH- BOARD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 630,746, dated August 8, 1899.

Application led October 3l, 1898. `Serial No. 695,113. (No model.)

To all whom, it nifty concern: l

Beit known that I, EDWARD SARGENT, J r., a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New Philadelphia, in the county of Tuscarawas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dough- Boards, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has for its'object to produce a dough-board which will be serviceable, yet cheap and durable, and which will be a'n improvement from a sanitary standpoint upon dough-boards as heretofore constructed.

To these ends my invention consists in forming the board of sheet metal, and preferably of a single sheet bent so as to provide an upper plane rolling-surface of suitable dimensions, With enlarged or beaded ends, and an under surface or thickness that is corrugated for the triple purpose of elevating the board from the table on which it may be used, of stiening the board as a whole and rendering it rigid, and of affording uniform support for the whole area of the upper rollingsurface.

My invention will be fully understood upon reference to the accompanying drawings, in

which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my irnproved dough-board; and Figs. 2 and 3 are sections of Fig. l, taken, respectively, on the line 2 2 and the line 3 3.

A represents my improved board, which is preferably formed of a single piece of sheet metal bent to provide the upper planeroll' ing-surface l, the enlarged rounded or beaded ends 2, and the under corrugated supporting and stiffenin g surface or layer 3, the height of such corrugationsbeing equal to the pro# jection of the enlarged rounded'or beadedA ends 2 below the plane of the rolling-surface in order that the board as a whole shall stand irmly upon a large number of supports. The corrugations 3 all preferably extend upward to the under side of the rolling-surface, so that each offers its individual support to a corresponding portion of the rolling'- surface, and the latter thereby finds uniform support throughout its area. By the formation of the enlargements on the ends, connecting them with the rollin g-surfa ce by rounded or curved bends, there is no opportunity for dough to accumulate in crack or crevice, as in wooden or other boards having beads or enlargements mortised to the ends of the board, and my improved board is thus superior from a sanitary standpoint, as well as being obviously better in construction and cheaper than boards heretofore made.

In making the board of a single` piece of f sheet metal the ends of the sheet are preferably overlapped, as shown at 4 and 5 in Figs. land 2. Y

Having thus described my invention, the following is what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A sheet-metal pastry-board comprising the under supporting. layer 3, the upper plane rolling-surface l, and the rounded or beaded ends 2, all formed of asingle sheet 0f metal lbent substantially as shown and having the edges overlapped at 4, 5, and the beads or enlargements being joined to the rolling-surface by curved or rounded bends, so as to avoid the formation of angles or cracks in which pastry may'accum ulate, substantially as herein explained.

2. In a sheet-metal pastry-board constructed of a single sheet of metal bent to form the upper plane rolling-surfaced, the enlarged or beaded ends 2,Y the yunder corrugated support 3 coeXtensive with and underlying the plane rolling-surface; the beads projecting below therrolling-surface ua distance equal to :the height of the corrugations,whereby said beads assist in'supporting the board, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
